Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Ruskin

At $2,144 a month, rents run 51% over what the rest of Ruskin commands. Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.5/10.

20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.7/10.

It sits 1.1 points below the Hillsborough County average of 4.2. The filing record is not thin: 107 evictions over 10 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.5% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
